Beej Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Strangely our green bin and brown bin have been stolen - southwark council are brilliant and will replace them free of charge, so why are they worth stealing? I would also like to big up the bin men whom actually come to our door to collect the wheelie bin when I forget to put it at the front of the garden - I am never awake early enough to thank them but they deserve a mention!

Jeremy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Our little brown kitchen bin and blue box went missing a while ago. Southwark were far from "brilliant" and haven't replaced them, so now we are forced to put stuff in our neighbours bins!

sfbob Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've had a few bin thefts over the years(always replaced within days of me contacting Southwark Council)-mainly the recycling boxes-which I guess were handy for storage-but I too wonder who steals wheelie bins?Jeremy- you might be in the situation I was in a few months back-council replaced my bin as requested-but it got nicked before I even got home form work!-wouldn't have known except my neighbour tipped me off.

the-e-dealer Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 They cost about ?80 so worth nicking if you are that way inclined. Useful on a farm , in factory or if you have a business and don't want to pay for a business waste contract. Also good for Hiding in as "My Close Friends " tell me. If you get the ref!

Loz334 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 We didn't get a brown bin in the first place so contacted the council and one arrive within days... Then went missing about a week later. Found it a few doors down so think just the binmen leaving them out in random places!
